Enlighten me: what does mK stand for?

70 is not very hot as far as GPU's go. GPU-z will let you see voltages and temps not show by some miners. If you have an overheating voltage regulator you may not see it without GPU-z running. Put a fan to really get air flowing with the side cover off. Moving more air may keep the VRM cool, if thats the issue it may run longer than 10 minutes.

For the ram sure. For the vrm those are crap and will cause problems.
You need these at least http://www.frozencpu.com/cat/l3/g8/c487/s1292/list/p1/Thermal-Thermal_Pads_Tape-Premium_Thermal_Pads-Page1.html
6W/mK minimum for the vrm or it'll throttle like crazy.

What are the temps? Dirty, clogged up heat sinks and fans mess up all kinds of things
Make sure nothing is over clocked before going too crazy troubleshooting stuff. Verify PC BIOS is up to date.
Run a Video card stress test and and look for artifacts to narrow it down to a specific card then swap PCIe slots.
See if the issues follows the card or stays with a PCIe socket.

Temps at around 70 per core.
Will try the rest. Thank you!!

and yeah, he sold you his dud that he may have already tried to fix... or didnt attempt to fix atleast, lol
do you have enough power ?
Yes, a PC Power and Cooling 950w PSU with only two 5970 on them. I cannot clock them over 600 or one of them fails.
Got it from a guy on the forum too, looks like he sold me his dud 5970.
u might need to take it apart, clean off the gpu's and put new thermal paste & pads on it.

725 is the stock speed. You might need to just keep it underclocked below stock.
So far no sickness or failure at 600 core.
kk thanks
Try running both cores at 600,300,0.95 and see what happens.
The only driver-related problem I know of is when you're running more than 4 GPUs (ie. more than two 5970s) on the same mobo with drivers higher than 11.12. It'll bluescreen every time.
Title.
Anyone experienced this before?
I try to downclock... got it at 700-725 and it still crashes and gets sick.
Drivers?
